chealion313 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 That guard is *remarkably* better this year than the first two. They should be commended. They need to continue to improve, while improving the brass fundamentals program. And not coming out with ten brass holes. If they do that... While they are well ahead of the past few years, it's still not quite up to the level of the rest of the top 10. At one point early in the show, I saw a weapon drop on every toss. So not acceptable for finals weekend. But I agree...if they get an earlier start filling out those holes and working on the basics, they'll be one to watch out for.

Kamarag Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The recorded music seems overly loud and distorted! Anyone else hear that? The distortion helps set the mood. It's not supposed to be crystal clear. It works better live, trust me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamarag Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 How about when prelims and finals were on the same day? Ugh, no. Hated that in DCI, would hate it more in DCA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that the Cadets are starting a winter guard program tied to C2, so that should reap some immediate benefits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WGI Open Class champion drumline, that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
